Morisawa Font
Designer: Shinnoske Sugisaki
Member of: JAGDA

A poster for a well known font foundry in Japan 'Morisawa.' Innumerable Chinese characters are enumerated in order to express the numerousness of the character set. In Japan, more than 3000 Chinese characters (ideogram) called Kanji are used together with Japanese characters (phonogram) called Kana.

More than 1.5 billion people in the world use Chinese characters with the same meanings but with differerent pronunciations. This design is transformed three-dimensionally to express today's advanced technology of fonts used in computers and the Internet.

Shinnoske Sugisaki graduated from Osaka University of Art in 1974 and established his own studio in 1983. He is a member of AGI and JAGDA. Shinnoske Inc. is an award winning Osaka, Japan based graphic and creative design studio.

Our focus is on presenting corporate and cultural information in its most effective and usable form - through meaningful design.

We believe that good design equals good communication and view graphic design as information architecture: researching, planning and creating. As a well established Japanese graphic and creative design studio, we are also very happy to be actively involved in design education and experimental study where we inform on and embrace both traditional and modern graphic design issues.
